I made ghost pepper hot sauce! It's pretty delicious, and I will make a habit of doing this every time the local grocery store has the peppers in stock.

You'll need:
50 g ghost peppers (just under 2 oz)
1 yellow onion
4 cloves garlic
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 cups water
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 cup distilled vinegar (or 1 cup of some other kind of vinegar - I bet apple cider would be good here)

Chop up the peppers, onion, and garlic, removing stems and such. They don't need to be very finely chopped. Saute them for a couple of minutes, until everything's starting to look cooked on the exterior. Add the water and then other non-vinegar ingredients and boil for 20-25 minutes, until everything's very soft and mushy. Puree until smooth, then add the vinegar and mix it in. All the seasoning ingredients are approximate, and you can pretty much use whatever you want.

I've heard people say you should use protective equipment when working with these things, but I didn't have any. Seemed to work out fine, but I haven't yet rubbed my eyes or something.

Do you drain the water before pureeing?

[Bauglir]

Nope, it's part of the sauce. Just pour everything into your blender/processor/what-have-you. If you want it thicker, you can use less water in the first place. Cutting the volume in half might work.

Uncooked porkchops were frozen for over a year. They were in their original packaging (styrofoam plate, plastic wrap, and that little blood soaking thing), and completely free of freezer burn. Cooked them up, and they were delicious.

Asian Salad: chopped bok coy, shredded carrot and daikon radish, green bell pepper sliced *very* thin, a small amount of minced red onion and fresh ginger. Dressing: Olive oil, a tiny bit of sesame seed oil, a small amount of soy sauce, and rice vinegar. I experimented a lot to get the right proportions so I can't give exact amounts, but... try this. This is fantastic. Would be great as a side dish with rice or a stir-fry.

We don't seem to get a lot of bad food experiences in this thread, so here's mine:

To provide a little context, In the past year or two I've been enjoying increasingly spicy hot foods. I used to hate the stuff, shunning even pepper flakes, but not so much recently.
Well, today we stopped for brunch at a small diner. My original plan was to get some sort of wrap, but then I saw this buffalo chicken sandwich on the menu and decided to try it. I was thinking "Why not? It can't be worse than that chipotle stuff I like, right?"

Never. Again.

I couldn't even eat half before my stomach began churning and I had to ask for a to-go box. The fumes from the sauce went right up my nose with every bite and I still feel slightly woozy. Dunno if I'm just a wimp when it comes to the Scoville scale or if they had some really nasty home-made sauce, but I'm not having that again for a very long time.

I had peanut butter and jelly without the bread. Then when I got tired of that I tried eating sprinkles without putting them on anything. Then I found the bread but I had eaten the last bit of peanut butter so I just had jelly sandwiches since I didn't feel like toasting the bread in the microwave oven. Then I ran out of jelly so I just started chewing slices of bread.

How I'm still thin, is a mystery.

I am no longer bringing shame to the glorious Republic of Poland, for I officially like bigos now. (I don't know what was turning me away from it for so long, but it doesn't matter)
Also, this.

Big-- I mean, begone with that dish!

Oh whom am I cheating, I am not a person to judge others' palate when I'm a Marmite lover. Pity I ran out of it awhile ago and buying it feels like highway robbery. Seriously, how expensive can a jar of beer brewing by-product get?

Sounds delicious. Where is this place?

Not sure what bigos is, but marmite is axle grease for sandwiches.

That gave me nothing aside from the worst (greatest?) mental picture to stew on.

Bigos is what's on DarkDXZ's picture. Boiled sauerkraut (or cabbage for the lame ones) with sausage and some other things, mostly mushrooms and pepper.
